50 years and still going strong

Posted on: Wednesday 22nd September, 2010

Here is a caricature I did this week for a couple who have been married for 50 years. Their daughter commissioned it for their anniversary.

He is an accountant (note dollar signs on the carpet and the beans on the desk) and his wife has been his secretary for decades and they still work together. I just had to have her sitting on the boss’ lap.

Fittingly I am also working on a caricature this week for a young couple celebrating their first anniversary (which is appropriately paper).

Anniversaries prove popular.

Cheers - till next time

Spratti Produces Only Hand-Painted Originals.

Buying a caricature? Watch what you buy as there are a number of caricaturists out there that don’t make it clear when you purchase from them that you will only receive a digital print-out and not original artwork.

I work only in pen and ink and watercolour on watercolour paper and use only quality materials that last and last.

Why would anybody want to receive a digital print-out as a gift when they can receive an original hand-painted caricature by Spratti at around the same price?

If you want a digital copy of the original I can easily scan and send you one at no charge - the best of both worlds.

Keep that special occasion special by giving a lasting and genuinely original caricature by Spratti.

Cheers Spratti
